Atlanta’s first “smart neighborhood,” a development of Georgia Power and PulteGroup, is moving forward in construction efforts, and added four new partners to the project.

Located in Atlanta’s upper Westside, plans are moving along for a 46-townhouse development that will flaunt all “the latest energy technologies.”
